Saturday's Daily Fair weather and warmer is booked for tomorrow. The wheat market ehowa siens of stiffening. The local market is very . firm. The farmers are disposed to hold for better prices. The elegant Ludwig piano used in the parlor scene at the theatre last night was kindly furnished by the Jacobsen Book Sc Music company. See the ad. of The Dalles fair. No pains are being spared to make this fair one of the grandest events of the kind ever held in the state. Condon Globe, By the way the people of The Dalles attend theatres there must be a good deal of money floating around. The Dalles is said to be the be6t show town in the state.-. The fall opening of Mrs. Phillips' mill inery store last evening was well at' tended by a large number of ladies who greatly admired the fine stock of goods displayed for inspection. The ladies of the Good Intent society will serve pumpkin pies with sand wiches and coffee " at the Methodest church next Friday evening. Only 15 cents will be charged and a good time promised. Revival services at the Christian church continue with unabated interest. Large audiences are in attendance every evening, and the pastor, Rev. Hazel is preaching instructive and profitable sermons. The services this evening will be of special interest, the subject being, "The Fat Man Fell and Broke Hie Neck." Tne public will be cordial ly welcomed. Mr. C. E. Ladd, of the well-known Portland banking firm of Ladd & Tilton, came to The Dalles on the noon train to look after property interests here be longing to the Ladd estate, principally the stone building on the northeast corner of Second and Washington streets. Sheriff Driver' returned from Hood River . this morning, having in charge J. Rotherneil, who was arrested upon a charge of larceny. The prisoner was taken to the county jail, and this after noon brought before Justice Davis for ' arraignment. He plead not guilty. The preliminary trial will be held next Monday. Rotherneil will be defended by Dufur & Menefee. .This is the busiest day The Dalles has seen fbr a long time. The streets have been crowded with wheat teams from ' the country, while our business men have been rushed selling goods. This season is going to be a prosperous one for our bustling city. The eyes of the Northwest are upon. The Dalles, where the prospects are the brightest for s city of twice its present size within the next five years. About 6 o'clock last evening a pair of pants and a pair of boots were stolen from in front of R. E. Williams' cloth ing store in the East End. They were hanging by the doorway and while Mr. Williams was in the back pait of the store the thief purloined the articles. He did not get far away, however, but was soon rounded up by Officers Blake ney and Connelly. At the time of the arrest he had the stolen pants on. A complaint was filed against him this morning and his case will come up Jlonday. " Monday's Daily. C. F. Stephens has just received a shipment of the famous Douglas shoes, See A. M. Williams & Co. ad. on dress goods and trimmings in this issue, This firm makes it a specialty to ' have the latest ideas In all lines'. '" ' " The public is invited to attend the an nual inspection of the militia this even- ing at the new armory building. This is . the one time of the year when the boys , make their best showing. Major Sidney Collins, brigade in spector of the Oregon National Guard, arrived in The Dalles this morning from Arlington. He will conduct the inspec tion at the armory tonight. The members of the Congregational Y. P. S. C. E. are requested to be pres ent at the business meeting of the society, Tuesday evening, at the church. The meeting is called for 7 :15J '. The Regulator stopped at Lyle this morning and took on a band 'of sheep '.' shipped to Troutdale. About 500 were in the band. Seeing a lot of sheep driven aboard is one of the pleasures of travelling by steamboat. ( Look out for the candy pull social - given by the Independent Workers.. It is for all Good Templars. Dress for the, occasion overalls and kitchen aprons Bring your saucers. ; Everything free for I.O.G.T. , : It la ; rumored the Arlington Record has changed hands and Mr. W. A. Max well of the Goldendale Sentinel has be come the purchaser. . Under the editor ship of Mr. Johns, the Record has been an ablv conducted paper, which we are sure will be the case when Mr. Maxwell assumes charge. The services at "the Christian church are every evening attracting more at tention. A crowded house greeted Mr, Hazel last night and at .the close of the service two persons' were received for baptism. The 'subject for tonight will be "The Famous Words of Chilo." The services begin at 7 :30 p.' m. The case of the State vs. Julius Rotber niel charged with larceny, came up be fore Justice Davis this afternoon, but owing to the failnre of getting the neces- sarv witnesses from Hood River, the matter wss-postponed- till tomorrow morning. It is understood a vigorous defense will be made to the charge. Wheat is going up. Acting under ad' vices from Portland and the. East, the warehonses increased their offets to 40 cents a bushel, a rise of 1 cent since Sat urday. The mill is paying , 41 . cents, This is much better than 35, which was being paid some time ago and it looks as if the 50 cent ' mark might yet be reached. s "The Wasco Warehouse Company have Durchased machinery for a chop mill and will run such a concern in connec tion 'with the other departments. A building is now being constructed at the rear of the large brick building, which will be used as the chop mill and also give additional room for the storage of wheat. Large shipments of wheat are being made every day from Lyle. None was taken this morning, however, as the lower deck of the Regulator was crowded with sheep. Four or five hundred eacke have been the average amount shipped for several days. The amount of busi ness done at Lyle adds considerably to tne revenue ot tne boat company. The large" drying " house of Arthur Bourland, situated on Chenoweth creek, about five miles from town, burned to the ground last Friday. A large amount of dried peaches were destroyed. The' fire caught from the furnace and before aid could arrive, the building was de stroyed. The loss was about $100. Mr. Bourland immediately came to town and purchased materials to rebuild. - A gentleman from across the river in formed The Chronicle today that rep resentatives of the Paul Mohr portage road had secured from Mrs. Gilmore right of way through ber farm near Rockland, and in doing so the promise had been made that the road would be in active operation within a year. Most of tne land necessary for tne remaining right of way has already been secured. The stock yards were crowded with sheep yesterday and today. D. P. Ketchum purchased from Davis & Clair 1800 head out of a band of 5000, which had just been brought back Jfrora Mt. Adams. Two car loads from the 1800 were shipped to Troutdale and three more will be sent tonight. The re mainder will be taken to 8-Mile for pas turage till such a time when they are wanted at Troutdale. -Those sheep of the Davis & Clair band, which were not sold, were taken to Crook county, where they will pass the winter. Mr. Henry Herbring ' has returned from a business trip to New York City. He was absent from home just three weeks, the greater part of which time, not used in travelling, was spent -In New York City. Mr. Herbring also made a short stay in Buffalo and spent a day in Chicago. The weather in New York was intensely warm and he longed for the pleasant days and cool nights of Oregon. New. York City, says Mr. Herbring, is enjoying considerable Busi ness activity and presents a livelier ap pearance than does Chicago.' Col. James Jackson, TJ. S. A., and Col. David Dunne of the Oregon National Guard arrived on the noon train from Portland. They will be present at the militia inspection tonight and, it is ex pected, will address a few words to those interested in the military organization as to how best greater efficiency can be secured. Col. Jackson is a regular army officer with a splendid record and takes a great interest in the National Guard of Oregon." 'Colonel' V Thompson of "the Third Regiment hopes there will be a large attendance of visitors at the ar mory this evening. - The opening for the fall season of mil linery at Mrs. Briggs Saturday at tracted a large crowd of ladies. ' In both afternoon and evening the tastefully fur nished parlors were thronged with the followers of fashion, who expressed great admiration for the beautiful exhi bition that bad been arranged. To one not initiated in , such mysteries, ' the number and variety of hats and bonnets were dazzling, but the visiting ladies men were at a discount seemed in per-' fectly familiar surroundings, but could not help wondering at the elegant dis play that had been made. We may ex pect to see some pretty,- new hats soon' worn upon the streets. - , Michael Murphy, who was arrested Saturday afternoon, charged with steal ing a pair of pants and some boots from R. R. Williams' store, had bis examina tion Saturday afternoon before Justice Davis. - Officers Connelly and Blakeney and Mr. Williams testified for the prose cution.:. Murphy bad no witnesses, but made the statement that he secured the clothes from another party. At-first he was unwilling to take an oath tnat what he would testify to was true, but finally did so. It availed him nothing, how ever, for the justice fonnd him guilty and fined him $20. Not having the necessary wealth, Murphy availed him self of the alternative and went to jail to serve a ten days' sentence. . Tuesdays Daily. The same sort of weather is predicted for tomorrow that we are having today. The subject of the discourse at the Christian church tonignt is "Emerson's Hero." As we go to press we understand that the non-commissioned officer's sword has been returned to its ecabbard. The famous trial at Grand Dalles still drags ont an existence, though it is ex pected a -definite .result will be ascer tained this evening. The carpenters who went down to Cas cades to extend the lower incline of the portage so that better facilities for load ing the cars could be obtained, returned last night, having completed their labors The pile driver which has been at work upon tne new warehouse, was moved yesterday to the incline leading to the Regulator dock and is now repairing some piling on the east side of the in clihe. n There will be a business meeting of the members of the Young Peoples' Society of Christian Endeavor tonight, at the Congregational chnrch. The meeting is' called for 7:15 and it is to be hoped there will be a large attendance present. Work on the boat company's new ware house had to be suspended today because of lack of lumber. A wood scow was loaded down the rUe, and waiting for a favorable wind to waft her to town-. The scow will probable arrive todav, and work be pushed vigorously. Anyone who wants an agreeable home can rent the house of Rev. A. Horn on Ninth street, having seven rooms with a nice garden. ' Mr. Horn, who has a suc cessor in Rev. E. Mark in this city, will settle near Goldendale in the center of his usual Klickitat county mission field xne .Regulator expects to . take on a cargo of wheat at Lyle today. There is large amount waiting to be shipped as fast as 'the boat can take it. A lot of lumber was taken down this morning, which will be used in enlarging the wheat platform at Lyle. The present facilities are proving inadequate. More wheat teams have been in town today than at any time during the pres ent season. Second street was a moving line of six-horse (earns. The East End resembled a busy street in a large city. At one time this morning fourteen wagons were in front of the Diamond Mills waiting to discharge their loads. Both warehouses were having all the business they conld handle. The. price still remains steady, 40 cents being paid at the warehouses and 41 cents at the mill. The attention of Justice Davis is being occupied this afternoon with the exami nation of Julius Rotherneil, charged with larceny. Deputy Prosecuting Atty Phelps and H. H. Riddell appear for the prosecution, while Dufur & Menefee represent the defense. - At a late hour this afternoon the State was still in troducing its testimony, which- went show that Rotherneil had no authority to cash the check, which he is charged of doing. The pri vate prosecutor is a young German lad unable to talk or understand English, so the services of Mr. Liebe were employed as interpreter. : What came near being a fatal acci dent happened this morning.' ' Dick Nolan and Ralph Gibons together with John Bonn were standing on the Regu lator wharf looking to the other side of the river where Andrew Larsen was en gaged in pulling a' big sturgeon, which had caught in his net, out of the water. ' The three gentlemen on the wharf concluded they won id go and see the fun and so, taking a boat,' they pulled to where Mr. Larsen was having a tussle with the sturgeon. Mr. Gibons and Mr. Nolan got in with Mr. Larsen and were helping to pull the net, when the latter gentleman lost his balance and fell over Into the water. The rope, upon which' he had been pulling, was tangled aronnd his body in such a way that bad it not been for the assistance of the gen tlemen in the boat with him the occur rence might have had a serious ending. As it happened, nothing worse than a ducking was the result. . Will The Dalles Move to Hood Stiver? Certainly, on Friday and Saturday next. - Cheaper than to stay at home and no end of fun. Only costs $1 for gentlemen and. 75 cents for ladies, .for steamer both ways, coaches from land ing and return and admission to fair. . Just the season for an enjoyable trip, bright days and moonlight nights; beautiful reflections of bluffs and trees in grand old Columbia, an immense hall crammed with the glories of the autdmn fruitage, crowds of happy people, all Wascoe, no Cascades county. Come. . . Superintendent. Say, why don't you try De Witt's Lit tle Early Risers? These little pills cure headache, indigestion and constipation. They're email, but do the work. THE ARABIAN NIGHTS." Tha Ferformaaee at the Bald w! a Last Might Very FinsIt . TVoald . Bear Repeating. The comedy given by Miss Tittell and the Home Dramatic Club last night at the Baldwin, was by far thebest amateur performance ever witnessed in The Dalles. Every seat in the large hall was taken before the doors were opened and the injunction to coiiie early had been so generally obeyed that there was no annoyance or disturbance during the acts. .Promptly at 8:30 the curtain rose on the first act of the play, showing the stage beautifully furnished, representing the parlor of an English house: The plot tofd of the trials and tribulations into which 'Arthur Hammingtop had been plunged by an unfortunate adventure he enconntered while personating Haroun al Raschid, the caliph of the "Arabian Nights." The situations which resulted were excrutiatingly funny and the audience was in a joar of laughter from beginning to end. Miss Tittell, as "Rosa Columbia," the disturbing element irthe plot, showed herself to be an actress of great merit, Her appearance was greeted by hearty applause from the audience and her act ing was of a kind very pleasing. Mr. Lonsdale, who took the part of "Arthur Hummingtop," had a very difficult role to act. Drobablv the hardest in the cast. That he did it well is slight praise, for it was the opinion of everyone present that Mr. Lonsdale surpassed his former efforts in the histrionic line. - He had a perfect conception of the character he was impersonating and from first to last acted with true artistic skill. Mr. Lons dale is deserving of all the compliments he received. Mr. Nicholas Sinnott is well known in amateur circles and he fully justified all the good things that have been said about his powers of act ing, in the part of "Ralph Omeroid, he appeared to bis best advantage and acted the part of the man who was married against his will and without his knowledge in a way that was very pleas ing. As "Joshua Gillibrand" Roger Sinnott scored a big success. His make up was stunning and a better represents tion of a London young man with sport ive inclinations, it would be difficult to imagine. Mr. Sinnott acted with the ease of a professional. Mr. John Hamp shire, John for short, he is better known as Johanie, can always be counted upon for doing whatever he has to do in the best possible manner. His part last night did not give him a full opportunity to show his powers, which are of a high order, but he acquainted himself ad mirably. , The ladies of the play were beyond criticism. Mrs. Blakeley was a capital mother-in-law of the kind so unjustly abused in the funny columns of news papers. She was perfectly natural and acted with great ease and grace. The dialogues in which she scored the short comings of her prevaricating son-in-law, were especially fine. Miss Rose Michell as "Daisy Maitland," looked and acted the. bright American girl in ber own inimitable way and aided greatly in the success ot tne evening. Miss Myrtle Michell and Miss Ketchum, .in their respective roles, were fully up to the high standard the castas a whole had set. They both were the recipients of deserved praise for the natural ease and grace of their acting. At the end of the second act the members of the cast were compelled to respond to a curtain call, showing how well the audience appre ciated their efforts. - The music by the Orchestra Union was especially worthy of mention and makes possible the statement that The Dalles has the finest amateur orchestra and dramatic club in the state. The re ceipts last night were very large. The Mohr Portage. Indications point now to work being soon commenced npon the portage rail way across the river.- A meeting of the promoters was held in Portland yester day, at which officers were elected and a board of trustees chosen for the ensuing year.'. The company also authorized certain contracts for the construction and equipment of the portage railway. Mr. Paul Mohr, the president of the concern, leaves today for New York and London to complete the arrangements authorized by yesterday's meeting.' Mr. Mohr expects to remain at London until January, and he. will attend to all matters, including plans and finances. The following are the officers elected for the Columbia Railway & Navigation Company, which is the title of the or ganization which expects to build the portage from Grand Dalles to Columbus; President Paul Mohr, of New York; vice president, David K. Stevans of Tacoma; secretary, Victor K. McEl heney of New York ; treasurer, Francis P. Lowry of New York. The board of trustees - consists of the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer and essra. C. O.' Bates of Tacoma, Hon. W. Lair Hill of Oakland, Calif,' C. B. Niblock of Chicago, A. A. Hutchinson of New York, and W. D. Tyler of Ta coma. Mr. Mohr gives out the statement that he expects to.be ready to begin active operations as soon as the question Is decided just when the locks will be completed. The people of Eastern Ore gon hope that the reorganization of. the company is sincerely meant, and work will be actively begun in the near future. "Old Hickory" Wagon Is knocking them all out.

Second and Federal Sts., A fleet of boats on the upper river will be a welcome sight to the people along its banks. A Wasco County Farm. ' Through the kindness of Mr. Max. Vogt, the editor of Tub Chronicle was given an opportunity yesterday of visit ing his farm, twelve miles from' town. In company with Mr. H. Glenn, Mr. T. A. Hudson, Mr. Vogt and the driver, Mr. Henzie, the scribe got into a light spring wagon and was soon ' speeding countrywards. The best that can be said for the road leading through Thompson's addition is that it is horri ble.' Full of rocks and chug holes, it is a wonder a loaded wagon is able to travel in safety. .An effort has been made to secure a different route .through this vicinity, one that will have fewer grades and rocks; every traveller will wish that the new road will be speedily con structed. A three hours' drive brought the party to their destination. The ranch of Mr. Vogt consists of 600 acres, composed of bottom land, hill and bench land, nearly every foot of which is capable of cultivation. A beautiful creek runs through the farm and falls at such a rate that water could be turned over a large number of acres. A walk to the hop fields, of which mention has already been made, was full of interest. There are two hop fields, only one of which was visited. In that one six acres were covered with a ,luxurient growth such as the Willamette valley, in its most favored portions, could not exceed Mr. Vogt, by his experiment,clearly dem onstrated that Wasco connty lands . are suitable for hop culture, but the price at present being so low, there is little money in their cultivation. A country dinner cooked and served to suit the most fas tidious put the . party in a good humor and clambering into a farm wagon they took a ride around the fields. The rains had done the country a good deal of good and the wheat for next season has made a fine start. The quantity of fruit upon the placeiB immense and of the best flavored varieties. A ride home in the cool' of the evening made a fitting close to a very pleasant day. - . Court Boose Notes. Today was a very busy one with the county clerk. A large number of deeds were filed for record besides a great amount of routine business to be at' tended to. The medical licenee of Rs J. Pilkington, who graduated from the medical department of Willamette Uni versity in 1890, was recorded.

The latest bulletin has just been issued, and reads as follows : DAILY BULLETIN . In the Kangaroo court for county of Wasco, state of Misery. Now on this day, the journal being read, the following proceedings were found to have trans pired. . Two subjects have been brought for trial within the last twenty-four hours. The first, a well known profes sor of Aesculapius was duly examined and plead not guilty. But.notwithstand ing his strenuous efforts, he was convict ed of being an inmate of the county jail, and received a sentence to pay one dollar r or receive twenty-five cobs. But the aforesaid man of pills being gritty said, he would take the cobs, but after thirteen of the cobs had been administered, there arose a wailing of a lost soul, and the fine was straightway paid. The other one plead guilty and bought the tobacco. ' The Inmates. Several months "ago The Chronicle noted the disappearance of Henry Stark, a well-known citizen of Antelope. Stark came to town with a four-horse team, expecting to take back a load of freight. He was seen on the afternoon of the day he disappeared, bat from that time on nothing was heard ot - him. It was known he had considerable money on his person and for this reason consider ble uneasiness was felt. The mystery has just been cleared up by the return ' of Stark, who in a conversation with Sheriff Driver, said he bad gone to Port land, from which place he had been shanghaied. He had been put aboard a ship and taken to sea, but as the vessel touched at San Francisco Stark made his escape. It took him some time to reach home. AdTertlsed Latter.

Many remedies tecommended by friends were tried, none of which proved suitable to my case. I did not experience any beneficial results until I began taking Chamberlain's Uongh Re medy. After two bottles of the large size have been used I am pleased to state, my health is better than it has been for years. The soreness has left my lunirt snd chett and I can breathe easi ly.
